Your Brain Isn’t Broken — It’s Starving For This Fat
Multiple studies show that flooding your brain with a unique kind of fat – one that continues to be slammed by conventional medicine – can boost memory and improve cognition test scores in people with Alzheimer’s.
Today I want to tell you about an Alzheimer’s patient who reversed the disease without Big Pharma’s dangerous drugs.
For 12 years, T.P. had been suffering from younger-onset advanced Alzheimer’s. Doctors told him his condition was “genetic” and “irreversible.”
His medications failed at slowing down his disease. In fact, one of the drugs made his Alzheimer’s worse.
T.P. knew time was running out. So he enrolled in a study sponsored by the National Institutes of Health.1
Before starting his treatment, T.P. took a test for cognitive function called the Mini-Mental State Examination. He scored low — 12 out of 30 — indicating severe dementia.
Ten weeks later, after taking what I call a “memory-restoring miracle,” T.P. took the test again.
He scored an amazing 8 points higher, for a score of 20. While that still put him in the “mild dementia” category, it was a drastic improvement.
A person with Alzheimer’s typically DECLINES two to four points each year.
The researchers also noted a “rapid improvement in T.P.’s personality, mood, and tremor.”
For two years, T.P. stayed practically cured of Alzheimer’s. Then everything changed...
A follow-up study put T.P. back on a Big Pharma Alzheimer’s drug. After one month, his old symptoms came roaring back.
Once again, T.P. ditched the drug and went back on the “memory restoring miracle.” And this time he was back to his revived self in just three hours.
What turned things around was a special kind of fuel — the kind of fuel your brain really wants. The kind it thrives on.
And it comes from one simple, overlooked oil.
The Brain Fuel That Stops Alzheimer’s In Its Tracks
Your brain makes up only about 2% of your body weight, but it consumes around 20% of your energy. That’s usually in the form of glucose.
But there’s a problem. As you age, your brain becomes less efficient at using glucose. This is why memories fade... your focus weakens... and things can spiral into full-blown dementia.
But there’s a backup fuel system that’s been overlooked by mainstream medicine — and it’s far more efficient than glucose, especially in aging brains.
I’m talking about ketones — biochemicals that are produced in your liver when your body breaks down fat — that can then be used for energy instead of glucose.
It’s the reason that ketogenic diets help people burn pounds of dangerous, unwanted fat and boost energy levels in people with chronic fatigue.
Multiple studies also reveal that high-fat diets can significantly improve the mental state and cognitive function of people with Alzheimer’s.2
Some people can find a full-fat diet hard to maintain. Others are just not suited to it.
But there’s a much better — faster and more reliable — way to flood your brain with ketones. It’s called MCT oil.
What Exactly Is MCT Oil?
Chances are high you won’t hear about MCT oil from your doctor. That’s a real tragedy.
MCT stands for medium-chain triglycerides. They are a type of fat found naturally in coconut oil, palm oil, and some dairy products.
But as a supplement, MCT oil is a concentrated extract, providing pure, targeted fuel for your body and brain — and it’s what turned T.P.’s brain and life around.
You see, what makes medium-chain triglycerides so special is how your body handles them.
Unlike long-chain fats, which have to go through a long digestive process, MCTs go directly to your liver, where they are rapidly converted into ketones.
These ketones then travel through your bloodstream and deliver instant energy — especially to your brain.3
And here’s the best part: Unlike glucose, your brain’s ability to use ketones doesn’t decline with age.
In fact, studies show that even Alzheimer’s patients — whose brains can no longer use glucose effectively — still use ketones without a hitch.4
This means MCT oil can literally bypass the damaged energy pathways in a diseased brain — and bring it back to life.
The Proof Is in the Gray Matter
This isn’t theory or wishful thinking. The brain boosting power of MCT oils has been proven — in labs, clinics, and most importantly, in real people.
Thousands have reversed the symptoms of cognitive decline, restored mental clarity, and even recovered speech and personality — all thanks to the ketone-generating power of MCT oils.
Let me show you some of the research.
A 90-Minute Brain Boost — Proven In Clinical Trials.
In one of the most talked-about studies, researchers gave a single dose of MCTs to 20 older adults with mild cognitive impairment. This is often a precursor to Alzheimer’s.5,6
Within just 90 minutes, those who received MCTs had higher ketone levels — and they scored significantly better on memory recall tests than the control group.
After a single serving.
Now imagine what your life will be like when you make this part of your daily routine.
Reversing Alzheimer’s — The Newport Case.
Perhaps the most famous success story comes from Dr. Mary Newport, a physician whose husband was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s while in his 50s.7
Steve was declining rapidly. Before long, he was unable to dress himself, recognize loved ones, or even speak full sentences.
After researching alternative therapies, Dr. Newport came across studies showing that ketones could serve as an alternate brain fuel in Alzheimer’s patients. So, she began giving her husband MCT-rich coconut oil twice daily.
In just a few weeks, Steve began making eye contact again. He could hold conversations. He started laughing at jokes. And his memory and cognition test scores improved — dramatically.
Dr. Newport documented his clock-drawing tests — once incomprehensible scribbles, now full circles with correct hands and numbers.
That’s not just better memory. That’s real neuro-regeneration.
Last year, Dr. Newport published a follow-up report in the journal Medical Research Archives.
Within weeks of using MCT-rich coconut oil twice a day, researcher Dr. Mary Newport’s husband dramatically improved his memory and cognition test scores.
In the study, she looked at the results of 288 patients with Alzheimer’s, dementia, Parkinson’s with dementia, mild cognitive impairment, and other diagnosed or subjective memory impairments.8
After taking MCT oil, an incredible 89% of the patients reported improvement in areas including:
Memory
Cognition
Recall
Social behavior
Mood
Speech
Conversation
PET Scans Don’t Lie — Ketones Work When Glucose Doesn’t.
One of the most remarkable things about MCTs is how they can bypass damaged pathways in the brain.
With Alzheimer’s, brain cells lose the ability to use glucose effectively. But PET scan studies show that even in advanced Alzheimer’s, the brain continues to absorb and use ketones normally.9,10,11
In other words, when glucose fuel fails, ketones take over — and keep the lights on.
This is a critical discovery. It means that ketone-based nutrition — especially from MCTs — have the power to halt or even reverse a cerebral energy crisis in a degenerating brain.
Long-Term Benefits — Better Brain Volume, Focus, And Mood.
Research also shows that ketones may help preserve brain volume — a key marker of healthy brain aging.
In a study of older adults who followed a ketogenic protocol with MCT support, MRI scans revealed a slower rate of brain atrophy compared with controls. These participants also reported better focus, fewer depressive symptoms, and improved executive function — which included skills like planning, decision-making, and attention span.12
One double-blind study showed that MCT supplementation improved cognitive function for six months — with sustained benefits that correlated directly with blood ketone levels.13
In other words, more ketones equal increased brain power. It’s that simple.
Your Brain Isn’t Broken — It’s Starving
As an anti-aging doctor, I find that the real proof for the power of MCT oil doesn’t come from PET scans or published peer-reviewed data in science journals.
It comes from people like T.P and husbands like Steve. And from the hundreds of patients I’ve worked with, who have rediscovered their sharpness, personality, and independence — sometimes within weeks.
When I see a 78-year-old patient suddenly remember her grandchildren’s names again... or when a former executive starts managing his own finances after being written off as “demented”... that’s proof.
All of it points to one truth — your brain isn’t broken. It’s starving.
And MCT oil is the fuel it craves.
Add MCT And Your Brain Will Thank You
When your brain runs on ketones instead of glucose, you begin to think more clearly. Your memory sharpens. Brain fog lifts.
That’s because ketones are cleaner, more efficient, and more protective than glucose.
You see, your brain cells — called neurons — are incredibly energy-hungry. They fire thousands of times per second, constantly relaying signals that control your thoughts, memories, emotions, and even your physical coordination.
To keep up with this demand, your brain needs a steady supply of fuel. Let me show you what I mean...
Most of us have been running on glucose (carbohydrates/sugar) our entire lives. But here’s the dirty secret Big Agra, Big Pharma, and mainstream medicine don’t want you to know...
Glucose is not the idea fuel for your body or your brain.
When your brain uses glucose, it generates a lot of metabolic waste — free radicals and inflammatory byproducts that damage your neurons. It’s like running your car on cheap gasoline full of grit. It’ll go, sure — but eventually, the engine gets damaged, wears down and breaks down.
Ketones, on the other hand, are the equivalent of premium octane fuel.
When your body burns fat — especially MCT fats — it produces ketones like beta hydroxybutyrate (BHB). These ketones glide past the blood-brain barrier and slip straight into your mitochondria, the little power plants inside every cell in your body — including the neurons in your brain.
And here's the amazing part... Studies show that ketones produce an astonishing 27% more energy per unit than glucose — with significantly less oxidative stress.14
Like a car engine, that means a cleaner burn with more horsepower and less wear and tear.
But it gets better. Just check out what else ketones can do for your brain:
